"Week 2 Update: Starting SQL Basics Alongside My AWS Learning"

Hey everyone! 👋

Checking in with my Week 2 learning update — shifting gears a bit alongside AWS to start exploring SQL fundamentals. Here’s what I covered this week using MySQL for hands-on practice:

🚀 What I Learned This Week:
🔹 Core Concepts:

Data Types: Qualitative vs. Quantitative

DBMS vs. RDBMS: Understanding how SQL talks to databases

Local Server Setup & MySQL Installation

🔹 Table Basics:

Creating Tables

SQL Data Types: NUMBER, TEXT, DATE

CHAR vs. VARCHAR

🔹 Table Constraints:

PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, UNIQUE, NOT NULL, CHECK

DEFAULT, AUTO_INCREMENT

🔹 Operators & Commands:

Comparison + Logical Operators (AND, OR, NOT)

SQL Command Types: DDL, DML, DQL, TCL, DCL

GROUP BY + HAVING — filtering grouped data

✍️ Why SQL?
Since many cloud roles involve working with databases, I wanted to build up SQL fundamentals alongside AWS.

✅ Next Up:
SQL JOINS

Subqueries

Real-world practice scenarios

That’s my SQL progress so far as part of my AWS learning journey. Next, I’ll dive deeper into JOINS, subqueries, and real-time SQL scenarios.

Thanks for stopping by — and if you're also on a similar path, let’s connect and grow together! 🌱
